Tried Vibe coding? Now Learn The Latest AI Trend "Spec Driven Development"

Leveraging AI to code with purpose - shifting focus on building solution rather than coding Vibe coding is fast, exploratory, and uses rough prompts for quick prototypes (like "make it nice"). In contrast, spec-driven development (SDD) is structured and methodical, built on detailed requirements and design specifications—much like formal blueprints—suited for complex, scalable, and maintainable systems. While vibe coding optimizes for rapid iteration and creative experimentation, SDD prioritizes precision, consistency, and alignment across the entire software lifecycle. This rigor is especially critical when working with AI agents, where well-defined specifications help prevent ambiguity, technical debt, and unintended behavior. SDD introduces discipline through documentation, validation steps, and review gates, making it the preferred approach for production-grade systems. Vibe coding, on the other hand, excels in ideation, proof-of-concepts, and disposable scripts, but carries higher risks of instability, defects, and poor scalability when applied beyond early experimentation.
